[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Not to be nitpicky, but surely that's a problem with "Space Seed", rather than TWOK. That's like complaining that the flaw in Return of the Jedi is that Vadar is Luke's father. "Which is why I wonder how "Star Trek II" became an altar to worship at and why criticism of it is as blasphemous as your use of our Lord's name." Because it has action, drama, is emotionally engaging, has some great character moments, and an epic feel to the conflict. It is well written and directed, full of adventure, and features characters we've known for years in a way that they haven't been presented before (Spock finally at peace with his human side, Kirk struggling with getting old, and so on). (And, not to get Flamewary, but a counter argument to "it is as blasphemous as your use of our Lord's name" would be "he's [i]your[/i] lord, not my lord." I'm not having a go, but try and keep comments like that out of general discussion. Omega manages it, and he can out-religious pretty much anyone. Including the Pope.) "There is no reason why the same story could not have been told with a different protagonist." Aside from the fact that we would have never seen said protagonist before. "Yes, I, Limpinship have come to claim my revenge on Kirk. Who once tried to kill me. But I escaped. It was a great adventure, pity you missed it." Besides, whether you think Montlebahn (sp?) overacted or not, he was wonderful as Kahn. [/QB][/QUOTE]
